amount of time and resources

if read separetly: amount of time
amount of resources :lol:

resources is countable, so amount of cant be used here.

piyush, i mean clause rather than phrases..

IMO A.

Like other performance indicators are, "are" is wrong here

you are comparing two nouns not two actions so "Like" should prevail over "as" [/b]

@miguelgav20 - u r right that LIKE is used to compare two nouns but SIMILIAR things. So, look at option A. What it is comparing is "performance indicators" and "the growth rate of...".

So, you cannot compare these things. So, eliminate A.
